Need bath repair in Licswm?

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How we handle bath repair in Licswm

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Licswm

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Licswm questions

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover Licswm?

We do. Technicians travel to Licswm from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Licswm?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CH8 postcode.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
